je dois me rendre aux usa dans l'indiana pour rejoindre une copine qui habite las bas.
jusque la rien de compliqué.
concernant les papiers j'ai un passport fait en tout début d'année..ça je pense que c'est bon.
la ou j'aimerai de l'aide:
je pense rester 1 semaine mais sinon est'il possible de prendre juste un aller et de prendre le retour sur place?
si non
ok je prend l'aller retour ici c'est pas trop le probleme mais la personne que je vais voir et qui habite las bas doit prendre le meme vol (retour pour moi et aller pour elle) que moi pour passer des vacances chez moi.
C'est assez simple.
Tout d'abord, fait une croix sur le principe de l'aller simple qui va te coûter une fortune ! (à l'aller ET au retour).
La meilleure solution reste de faire qq recherches sur des sites où l'on peut acheter depuis la france et les USA (genre expedia ou ebookers):
tu regardes ce que le site français te propose de moins cher pour l'A/R et tu lance une recherche depuis le site américain en faisant synchroniser le départ de ton amie avec le tien (même heure de vol, pas forcément la même compagnie, car il y a bcp de code share: tu connaitras la compagnie qui effectue le vol en avançant un peu dans la réservation).
Ensuite, il faut te synchroniser avec ton amie pour acheter les billets au même moment (qq minutes d'écart max) pour ne pas avoir de mauvaise surprise (plus de place, prix en forte hausse, etc).
Sinon, tu joues la carte de la facilité et tu vois directement sur les sites des compagnies aériennes qui déservent ta destination (trouvables sur le site de l'aéroport d'arrivée) et tu notes le numéro de ton vol retour et tu demandes spécifiquement ce vol pour l'aller de ton amie. Inconvénient: tu risque de payer + cher que la 1ere solution.
Ou encore l'ultra facilité et tu appelles Air France (avec de la chance -beaucoup de chance-) ça ne sera pas (bcp) plus cher ! Mais bon, si tu gères un peu l'internet, c'est 30' de recherche max pour la 1ere solution.
au fait, pour le passeport, vérifie qd même que tu as un signe "puce" sur la page de garde (pour passeport électronique, voir sur le site de l'ambassade US) sinon, tu feras demi tour direct à la douane (à moins d'avoir demandé un visa) !
pour moi c'est ok c'est bien le passeport avec la puce.
je compte m'y rendre vendredi prochain et revenir mercredi 28
autre question je dois donc revenir avec ma petite americaine, savez vous si elle doit elle aussi prendre l'aller retour ou peut elle juste prendre le billet aller et une fois ici décider de son retour?
elle a juste besoin d'un passeport?
oui, il faut toujors prendre des 1AR pour 2 raisons: c'est beaucoup moins cher que des allers simples. Moi même quand j'ai besoin d'un aller simple transatlantique, je prends un AR en jetant le retour (attention, l'inverse ne marche pas, on ne peut pas utiliser un retour si on n'a pas utilisé l'aller) c'est une condition sine qua non pour entrer sans visa aux USA ou dans l'Espace Shenghen, et la compagnie aérienne pourra te refuser l'embarquement si tu n'as pas d'AR.
"c'est une condition sine qua non pour entrer sans visa aux USA ou dans l'Espace Shenghen, et la compagnie aérienne pourra te refuser l'embarquement si tu n'as pas d'AR."
Un jour 1 personne a inventee le Billet Open, ou tu as 1 an pour choisir ta date de retour.
Quelle idee de ne vouloir prendre que 1 aller et de choisir a destination la date du retour, etrange quand meme, on croirait que une fois arrivee tu penses ou elle penses ne plus vouloir repartir !!! 😉
Billet aller Only = Immigration, seulement dans ce cas la c est possible.
quelqu'un peut me confirmé pour une personne américaine apparement aucun visa n'est demander.
elle viendrais ici moins de 90j donc pas de probleme, elle a juste besoin de son passeport.
par rapport au prix du billet il est plus interréssant que je prenne 2A/R paris indianapolis a 570, et qu eje n'utilise pas le billet aller pour elle, elle n'utilisera que le retour et on est sur d'etre sur le mm vol.
par contre ça ne pose pas de probleme pour elle de venir en france ss avoir de billet retour? je demande ça en cas de controle
🏴☠️ c est de l immigration clandestine ou koi qu e tu veux faire, cela m a l air bien complique ton histoire, etrange meme.
Toi = 1 billet aller/retout
Elle 1 billet aller/retour (open retour valable 1 an)
Si pas sur le meme vol ce n est pas une catastrophe, la terre ne vas pas s arreter de tourner pour cela, ou sinon reserve des maintenant ton et son billet avec la meme compagni, checke ca, c est pas complique pourtant.
As te lire on dirait vraiment que 1 de vous 2, veut aller quelque part et ne pas en repartir : je me trompes ?
Qu en penses tu tatra ? lollll
la seule chose compliqué c'est detre sur le meme vol!!
moi je prend un aller retour c'est pas le soucis
elle, elle est américaine a 20ans et reprends les cours fin aout
on voulais juste etre sur le mm vol (moi retour et elle depart) et pour son retour aux us on ne sais pas encore tt dépend si elle s'ennuie ici ou pas...
donc je ne pense pas que se soit de l'immigration clandestine!! lol
je pense que je vais prendre mon billet et une fois lasbas on verra pour son billet a elle, car j'ai tel chez ebookers et il n'on pas de prix négocier pour un depart des us. ça veut dire qu emoi je me retrouve avec un A/R a 570e et elle un billet a 1200e
alors que si elle le prend dans une agence de voyage sur place elle aura un prix come le miens.
derniere question a laquelle personne n'a repondu, savez vous s'il ya des formalité autre qu'avoir un passeport pour les américains venant en france?
"savez vous s'il ya des formalité autre qu'avoir un passeport pour les américains venant en france? "
Normalement un billet de retour ou de continuation.
"National U.S.A. (US) /Embarkation U.S.A. (US)

Miquelon for a stay of max. 15 days.

🙂 Alors pour y repondre, Juste besoin du passeport, et la elle peut rester 3 ou 6 mois (la je en sais pas lolllll), mais c est sur que seul le passeport suffit.
Si tu es sur qu elle vienne, si tu peux prends son billet dans la foulee et la tu auras plus de chance d avoir le meme vol.
Quelle compagnie tu prends ?
si elle s'ennuie ici ou pas... : tout depend Toi la !!! 😎
ben pour moi j'ai trouvé avec northwest, ou us air ou un truc du genre
je pense que je vais prendre le billet pour lui filer les numéro de vol pour que de son coté son vol allé corresponde a mon vol retour
car comme je vous ai dis si je le prend sur ebooker pour elle le fait d'avoir un depart des us, il n'ont pas de prix négocié et on se retrouve avec un aller retour a 1200e au lieu de 570 comme le miens
Si tu prends l'AR CDG-IND à 570 euros TTC avec ebookers, ca te coutera très cher de faire venir ta copine sur le même vol, car le prix d'un AR IND-CDG départ le 28-mai et valable pour un retour dans les 3 mois (si elle prend un billet dont le retour est à plus de trois mois, elle est obligée de prendre un visa shenghen) est supérieur à 2500$ chez Northwest.
Dans tous les cas, si elle prend le même billet que toi mais qu'elle n'utilise pas le premier coupon (CDG-IND), le retour sera perdu!
Je ne suis pas agent de voyage, si ca peut t'aider voici un routing possible:
Pour toi:
23-mai CDG-PHL-IND Dep 13:30 Arr 23:08
28-mai IND-PHL-CDG Dep 09:18 Arr 07:55+1
avec us air
725eur sur www.ebookers.fr
pour elle:
28-mai IND-PHL-CDG Dep 09:18 Arr 07:55+1
Retour CDG-IND-PHL quand elle veut avant le 27 août (sélectionne une date au pif pendant la réservation et après elle pourra changer le billet en fonction des places dispos dans la classe de résa H et moyennant 250 dol)
avec us air
USD1582 ttc sur www.travelocity.com
non mais je dois voir avec elle combien de tps elle veut rester au moins 1 mois ça c'est sur.
elle a moins de 25ans ya peut etre des tarifs preferentiel?
mais vu qu'elle retera moins de 3mois le vol ind- cdg avec northwest est donc possible?
si je connais sa date d eretour.
pour faire simple, pour un départ fin mai avec northwest le prix d'un IND-CDG AR est de
1200 dollars pour un billet où le retour se fait moins d'un mois après le départ (classe V)
2000 pour 2 mois (classe B)
2500 pour 3 mois
et dans ce sens, elle peut prendre un billet AR valable un mois, le présenter au controle d'immigration et ne pas utiliser le retour. Ensuite, il faudra qu'elle trouve un aller simple ou un aller retour pour rentrer avant la fin de son autorisation de séjour (non prolongeable) et en plein moins d'août, il peut etre prudent de s'y prendre un peu à l'avance.
Hi everyone,
I have to leave for Perth, Australia in a week, for 7 days, and I couldn’t get my international driver’s permit due to processing and delivery delays.
The information I’ve found about whether an international permit is required is contradictory. Some sources say you need one, others say you don’t.
Could anyone let me know if an international driver’s permit is necessary to rent a car in Australia (Perth), or if a French license is enough for a 7-day rental?
Hi fellow travelers,
I need some info.
Landing in Mumbai on the 16th at 11:55 PM, so immigration will be on the 17th.
On the e-arrival card form, which date should I put—16th or 17th?
Thanks for your answers.
Hi there,
I’m explaining our situation—my daughter and her young family have just moved to Polynesia, specifically to the island of Raiatea. That’s great, of course, and my wife and I are planning to visit them. However, flights that go through the United States are causing us a problem because we’ve been to Cuba. I think we’ll need a visa because of that.
Has anyone else dealt with this situation before? Any advice on flights and visas would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
I have two questions about applying for a Non-Immigrant O Visa at the Thai embassy in France for someone over 50:
- - Do I need to provide the address(es) of stay in Thailand (hotels, staying with a Thai friend)?
- - Financial proof: Is a retirement statement showing over 2,000 € per month sufficient, or are bank statements also required?
I know there’s already a lot of information about the visa requirements on the embassy’s website, but from my experience—having dealt with embassies in other countries in previous years—I know that the information is sometimes (!) incomplete or inconsistent. So, I’d rather hear from people who’ve recently gone through this process to avoid any surprises after submitting my application, which could cause unpleasant delays.
Hi there,
I’m heading to Senegal in January for a month and was wondering if I just need my French driver’s license or if I should get an international permit?
Thanks!

I’m heading to Laos next spring, but I have a question about the Thai arrival/departure form. I’ll be flying PAR-BKK, then taking the train to Laos (so exiting Thailand), and later re-entering Thailand by train to catch my return flight. Do I need to fill out two forms in this case?
Hi,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.
What’s the process, and which insurance should I get?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Best,
Seb
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Laos from France with a transit through Thailand involving 2 entries. I might spend up to 7 days max in Thailand (round trip).
The flight I’ve spotted: arrival at BKK and return to France 31 days later.
With the new regulations/visa:
"Starting September 15, 2026, French nationals holding an ordinary passport will be able to stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism purposes only, down from the previous 60 days."
How do you think the counting is done?
- Number of days spent in Thai territory?
- Entry and exit dates: number of days between the two?
I’m leaning toward the first option, but to avoid any administrative hassles with Thailand (fines, etc.) and before booking my ticket, your input would really help.
Hi there,
we’re planning our trip to the North Cape this summer. We bought a new vehicle for it. Unfortunately, the registration document is still being processed, and the delay seems long—I don’t think I’ll have it in time for our departure...
I have the transfer documents, insurance in my name, and all the supporting paperwork, but not the registration document. So my question is: does the ferry company require the registration document *mandatorily* when boarding in Denmark or not?
Thanks for any insights...
Hi everyone,
I bought a new apartment in Pattaya that will be finished at the end of 2013, and I’d like to buy more later...
I think it’s a good investment idea, but I’d love to hear from those of you with experience—what do you think? I’d also like to know how to handle rentals... Should I go through agencies, or are they usually rented out directly by the building management companies?
Thanks in advance for your replies! 🙂
hi everyone,
I need to apply for a new eTA for Canada.
do I need the number from my old eTA or not?
because I can’t find my old eTA number anymore.
thanks for your replies, have a great weekend
Hi there,
I know there are similar topics here and elsewhere, but they’re a few years old, and I need an up-to-date answer to make sure I don’t throw over 1000 € out the window. Thanks for your patience.
I’m planning a trip from France to Alberta/British Columbia, and I’m unsure about which bank card to use for the security deposit with the rental company (I’m thinking of going with AVIS).
I contacted Avis Canada, and they told me a credit card is absolutely required. I asked my bank for a credit card (a *real* credit card), but they only offered me a deferred debit card.
My question: For a rental with Avis Canada, is a Gold International Mastercard deferred debit card usable for the security deposit needed to finalize the rental? Is the "CREDIT" label enough? (Some cards say "CREDIT" and others say "CARTE DE CREDIT"—seems minor, but it’s actually a big deal in how the card works.)
I’ve seen conflicting info everywhere I look... My bank says it’s *usually* okay (the deferred debit card), while Avis Canada insists it *must* be a credit card, not debit—even when I mention the deferred debit card.
I know the whole credit card concept is already confusing, and on top of that, some sites say a deferred debit card counts as a credit card, while others say it doesn’t.
Thanks to anyone who can share a recent experience!
Have a great day
Hi,
I’m bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,
to help me sleep.
I’ll have the prescription with me.
Will this be a problem at customs, and do I need to declare it?
Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi everyone,
I’ll explain my situation.
Unfortunately, I lost my passport, and I only realized it two weeks before my departure for a humanitarian mission in Libya. I’m a nurse, and this mission really means a lot to me.
First, I applied for an emergency passport, but it was denied by the Val-d'Oise prefecture on the grounds that a planned humanitarian mission wasn’t considered an urgent reason.
So, I submitted a biometric passport application on July 20th. Since then, the tracking has been stuck, and the town hall can’t (or won’t) give me any clear information. Every time I call, I get a different story. The last update I received was that the passport had been produced since July 23rd with a status of "about to be shipped," but nothing since then.
I’ve managed to push my departure back to next Tuesday at the latest, but I’m starting to really panic.
Have any of you submitted an application around July 20th, especially in Val-d'Oise (95)? How long did you wait between the passport being produced and it being available at the town hall? Is it normal for this step to take this long?
This mission means so much to me. I had everything organized, and I’m also supposed to attend a friend’s wedding right after near the border.
Thanks so much to those who take the time to respond or share their experience. 😔
Can anyone tell me exactly if a passport "valid for the duration of the stay" is enough, or does it need to be valid for 6 months after the trip?
I checked the embassy’s website, but that info is missing.
Hi there,
I’ll be arriving in Seoul on November 18th after spending about a month in India.
Do you know if I’ll need to fill out any additional documents besides the e-arrival card?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
I’m a bit embarrassed because I need to travel to Quebec from February 27th to March 13th. I’m a regular visitor to Canada—this will be my 10th trip since 1997, plus a year as a permanent resident (2000–2001) and a cross-country run from Vancouver to Halifax in 2011. So, I’m definitely not a terrorist!
But since our last trip in July 2015, they’ve introduced this eTA thing. Seems more like a way to make money than to actually secure Canada, if you ask me, but anyway, that’s not the point.
I applied for an eTA for myself, my wife, and our two kids. They all got approved within hours, but not me! I was asked to create a GC key and then an IRCC account, which I did. Normally, you get news within 72 hours, but since Monday, January 15th, nothing!
In the "message" section of the account, it says "explanation letter (required)" with a deadline of January 25th, but I can’t find any explanation anywhere—despite searching the Canadian government website and Google. No links, nothing!
I’ve emailed them but haven’t heard back yet. I’m thinking of calling the Canadian embassy in Paris tomorrow. Even though I’m not stressing yet, it’d be a bummer if everyone else got to go without me!
If anyone’s had this issue before or knows what this explanation letter is about, I’d love to hear more.
hi there
I’m heading to Seoul in September, and to do that I need to get a travel authorization that we apply for through K-ETA....... turns out I can (barely, I admit) fill out the form up to the address of our "stay location," but every address I’ve entered has been rejected by the system. I’ve tried my hotel, the Lotte Hotel (which is well-known in Seoul), the airport—basically, I’ve entered at least 20 addresses, all rejected....
So, to anyone who’s successfully gotten the authorization, could you tell me which address you used to get that "elusive" approval?...
Hi there,
I have a 9-seater passenger vehicle that I use for my business in Paris, transporting people.
I’m planning to go to Algeria with my family.
The vehicle registration lists my company as the owner.
Can I get a TPD (Temporary Admission Document)?
Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?
Thanks for your help.
Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!
Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?
It was closed for a while.
Thanks for any info!
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April.
My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date.
Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry.
However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht).
This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea?
Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast!
Cheers,
Bruno.
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.
We’ve decided to spend one day in Switzerland and another in Italy. Will we need ID (national ID card or passport)? Do we also need ID for our daughter?
Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.
Best regards,
M. Buisson Eric
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident.
I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia.
For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France?
Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!
Elisabeth
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted.
Is this real or just a hoax?
Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received.
Thanks everyone.
